Download or read book Reflections Revisited written by Reuben H. Siverling and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-01-09 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As described by Reverend J. Lowell Harrup, pastor of Northland Cathedral, Kansas City, Missouri: This book focuses on army rangers, in particular the Fourth Infantry Divisions LRRPs or the rangers of the Seventy-Fifth Regiment, the official as well as the spiritual successor to the fabled Merrills Marauders, the long-range, deep-penetration units of World War II. Their stories need to be told, not for individual aggrandizement, though they certainly earned that, but so their history will be more than a political polemic. The Vietnam conflict was terrible, but our troops carried on the tradition of our military from the beginning of this nation. I have come to know many of them, including a number of highly decorated heroes of that conflict. Among those I put in that category is Reuben Siverling, a close friend and Christian brother, whose story is in this book. These stories are not enhanced; they need no enhancement. They are, in fact, the attempt to reduce in words the experiences that were lived in units of time distorted by the surreality of war, extreme environments, separation from families, and constant death and dying all around. The complete story of each cannot be told; books are not big enough. But these are told so that history will stand unrevised.

This book was released on 2017-12-08 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""An important contribution to the literature on the war."" Gary R. Hess, Emeritus Distinguished Research Professor, Bowling Green State University. Author, --"Vietnam: Explaining America's Lost War." In his Reflections on the Vietnam War: A Fifty-Year Journey, Warren E. Hunt chronicles his long struggle to come to grips with the meaning of the Vietnam War and how it affected him before, during and after his tour in Vietnam with the U.S. First Infantry Division. Using a stylistic mix of personal anecdote, historical reflection and essay, the author weaves his experience of the war into a broad context encompassing the course of his life. Starting out as a naive and patriotic teenager drafted at age 19, he traces his path through military training, his impressions of Vietnam and its people, the absurdity of daily basecamp life, and the crucible of enemy fire. Returning to a nation torn apart by the war, he soon realizes that, even though he is no longer in the army, he cannot escape the war''s insane grasp. Catastrophic events in Vietnam and on the home front, along with the dawning awareness of suicides among his fellow veterans, prompt him to seek answers to the questions that haunt his daily life: Why did America go to war in Vietnam? How could we lose? Why did so many people have to suffer in vain? His quest leads him to the unveiling of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., where painful memories and powerful emotions merge to initiate a healing process for the author, his fellow veterans and the country at large.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About Reflections Reflections is a memoir of the Vietnam War. The book paints a picture of the sacrifices of Vietnam veterans and the vilification they endured. The book is also a tribute to Colonel George S. Patton III, who was a marvelous mentor and an inspirational leader. He was a tactical genius and a man of great courage. He surrounded himself with men of enormous ability. With an aggressive style of leadership and working with men of great talent, he optimized the chances of success that assured victories for the Blackhorse Regiment. The lesson learned is to never give up. When you are new on the job and you dont know what you are doing and your boss is looking for a replacement before firing you and your morale is dismal, dont ever give up. Your boss may be fired in the morning. Your new boss may decide that you werent the problem. The jerk who wanted to fire you was the problem. So always do your best and never give up.

Download or read book The Evolution of US Army Tactical Doctrine 1946 76 written by Robert A. Doughty and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper focuses on the formulation of doctrine since World War II. In no comparable period in history have the dimensions of the battlefield been so altered by rapid technological changes. The need for the tactical doctrines of the Army to remain correspondingly abreast of these changes is thus more pressing than ever before. Future conflicts are not likely to develop in the leisurely fashions of the past where tactical doctrines could be refined on the battlefield itself. It is, therefore, imperative that we apprehend future problems with as much accuracy as possible. One means of doing so is to pay particular attention to the business of how the Army's doctrine has developed historically, with a view to improving methods of future development.

Download or read book Vietnam Vanguard written by Ron Boxall and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2020-02-28 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Vietnam War, and Australia’s part in it, was a major military event, calling for willingness to face death and destruction on the battlefield on the part of those sent there, especially the men of our infantry battalions who formed the spearhead of our forces in Vietnam. For many reasons, the Australian public know relatively little about what our Army did in Vietnam during the war, particularly during the years of our peak commitment, 1965–72. This book attempts to make the true nature of the war clearer to readers, emphasising how hard fought it was during major operations. Twenty-seven of the contributing authors of this book were involved in the 1966 deployment of the 1st Australian Task Force into Phuoc Tuy Province. This formation was the first Australian Army force larger than an infantry battalion group to be deployed into a major war since World War II. 5th Battalion, the Royal Australian Regiment (5 RAR), was in the vanguard as the task force’s first element committed to operations to seize and occupy Nui Dat base and embark on establishing dominance over the enemy. The narratives presented in this book give rare insights into thoughts of the soldiers at the time and how they have come to view the Australian Government’s hurried expansion of its initial commitment to that war, the Army’s state of preparedness for that wider involvement, and how those in its forefront adapted to get the job done, both in and out of operations, despite numerous shortcomings in higher level planning. Both professional soldiers and conscripted national servicemen have contributed viewpoints to these pages.
